Practical Course!

“Adriana provided us with unconditional guidance. We took this course because we needed resources, both, organizational and financial for the development of our business and we were referred to CFNMD. We needed the knowledge to properly structure a Business Plan, where we identified our market, clients, strengths, and weaknesses to increase production and attain our objectives. And this course allowed me to structure my business plan in an easy and effective way, which I was able to develop through the lessons, office hours and technical support from Adriana, who is an excellent professional. With this business plan we were also able to obtain the financial resources we were looking for.”
